MH Woodie on Craigslist

Not a truck but still cool. A bit out of my price range but there is always the lottery this weekend. More photos in original C/L ad.

1948 Ford Woodie Marmon-Herrington 4x4 Super Deluxe Wagon - $278000
The 1948 Ford Woodie Marmon-Herrington 4x4 Super Deluxe wagon is a one of the industry's first heavy-duty luxury SUVs. What makes this Woodie unique is that Ford sought the expertise of the then tank builder Marmon-Herrington to convert this standard wagon into a rugged all-purpose 4x4.

The restoration of the wood and the interior upholstery has been expertly refinished by renowned Woodie collector Nick Alexander. Everything on the wagon has either been replaced by original parts or restored to its original specs, including the vintage wiring and working radio.

This immaculately restored Ford conversion is extremely rare; it is believed that only seven were built. This vehicle pioneered the modern four-wheel-drive. It is a true testament to American style, power, and ingenuity.

That's a beauty, not the kind of car to sell on craigslist, should be on Barrett Jackson.
I wonder what it looked like before they over restored it? Too purdy to drive now.
I don't think any passenger car had a 4 speed in 48.

Woodie

Outside of having a nice COE from 41 this would have to be my other most favorite vehicle.

I think MH specified four speeds.

Funny, I NEVER drove this in the snow because they salt the roads here in the winter now so I totally get what you are saying WB. Only drove it on dry summer roads.
